Optimistic pause
Eagerness tingles essence
Happy consequence!

Woodpecker: “I hope I can hang on and get some morsels.”
Junco bird: “I hope the woodpecker leaves soon. It’s cold, wet, snowing and I’m hungry.”
Photographer: “I hope this shot turns out.”
We’re finally getting some snow in our area…but a snowstorm doesn’t stop the birds from visiting!

Haha, nice conversation between the two. I think there is enough room for both birds to share the meal.
By the last line, I guess the bird got up on the suet.
This is neat.
Very nice shot!
Pretty, pretty! Margie
Soooo cute!
During the winter months I sure they hoping to find a meal. Their hope was rewarded. Great post for challenge!
Love it!
Wonderful. I had a similar pic but it just wasn’t good enough to post.
Your exquisite three lines and these completely irresistble woodpecker and junco warm our hearts as the snow falls. Very successful post, dear one.
brilliant – thanks for sharing!
Wonderful action shot!
Love it! I enjoyed both the photo and the conversation 🙂
Great shot and narrative! Well done.
Hi,
A really nice photo, and I love the conversation. 😀
beautiful interpretation
Gorgeous image! and lovely text to accompany – I was reciting the narrative in my mind, with bird voices!
Great entry!
great shot and love the poem
like the theme and how you have made the story around it-that’s a very polite junco-think that is an oregon junco-don’t see them often here.
Great shot, I really feel winter! The haiku is yours too?
Thank you for visiting my site and liking.
How cute. I hope that they will live happily.
Fantastic!
I have to get me a bird recorder like you have! LOL

It is such good fun to observe the pecking order at the bird feeders.
Your text is great too.
Lovely image and great words
Hope there’s enough to go round!
I hope the second bird didn’t wait long before digging in!

Cute shot for the theme!
Nice conversation 😉 Beautiful shot as always 🙂
what a wonderful photograph.
Thanks for your visit and kind words.
I must say that you’ve got beautiful photos in your blog. And I think it’s fun to learn what they are called in english. The haikus (can you say so?) are very nice too.
I’ll visit you again.

“Hope is the thing with feathers” I couldn’t resist. Love the image and the dialogue!
Cute post and a great shot of the woodie!
great image for hope.
Thank you so much for feeding the birds as it is so hard for them in bad weather.. This is too cute…Michelle
More than ever the birds needs feeding when a storm is on its way. Another lovely picture from you. A delightful composition, so well balanced and strong. I like the bluish tint of the picture, makes us feel the winter and the cold. And it’s a nice little story you put together with the words. Love it.
Very cute. My CC pic is up too.
WoW! I’m going to have birds for my example too… Love your photo. It is terrific. 😉
Adorable!
Nice post and shot.
Regards and best wishes
Fantastica!
Grazie per la visita

This is a great photograph!

Waiting ‘his’ turn…which ‘he’ knows will come!
I have been thinking of painting a woodpecker feeding…and this photo has convinced me.
Love the scenario you ‘painted’ here, Fergiemoto!
Absolutely delightful, we say, LOL. That’s how the universe is when a woodpecker, Junco, and photographer meet around the birdfeeder in the backyard. Ethel and Tom
A wonderful capture and your conversational words were perfect. A great post this week. genie
Love this wonderful haiku, hopeful image and adorable conversation~
This is so wonderful, I loved it 🙂
I was going to say “hope personified” but perhaps I should say “hope birdified”?

I posted a poem titled Hope that used fledgling as a metaphor two days after you posted this but I have not visited your site previously. Love that “Six degress of separation” theory. Also love your blog, particularly the heading quote.
